If you feel like you have an experience with Lighthouse Counseling you’d like to share, please leave us a review!

I cannot recommend Patrick Heffran enough! He has been instrumental in my journey through motherhood, helping me navigate anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. His counseling has also greatly benefited my marriage, family dynamics, and career. Patrick is so easy to talk to, and I appreciate that he keeps it real—he isn’t afraid to challenge me when necessary. His support has truly motivated me to work towards becoming the best version of myself. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to guide you, I give Patrick a 10/10!

Judith

"Patrick helped me through a difficult time in my life that included learning about my new ADHD diagnosis, family medical issues, and building a business all while raising a 2 year old. He is a strategies based therapist that has a great background in CBT which will help you change your thinking patterns to have a better experience with life. I appreciate all he did for me and my family!"
